The Elemental Map of Transformation: Six Sacred Forces for Inner Change Long before modern science, there was the wisdom of the elements. Sacred Elements is a retreat that returns to this universal language. Each day we explore our inner world through the language of the elements as an archetypal gateway: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether, and Void – these six primal forces are the original languages of transformation. Across cultures and centuries, from Taoist inner alchemy to Vedic cosmology to Western esotericism, elemental understanding has always been a map of how energy moves – within nature, the cosmos, and the human being. Our approach blends years of subtle energy training with the timeless power of presence. Through guided sessions, elemental rituals, and space for rest and reflection, you’ll experience what it means to truly align – physically, emotionally, energetically. This program is thoughtfully curated to balance guided practices, rest and reflection, and soulful immersion. The Core Practices Throughout the retreat, we come together in a sacred container – held with energetic precision and care. Each day includes restorative YinRising meditations, guided group energy healing sessions, and intentional crystal layouts designed to open, balance, and align your system with the deeper intelligence of the field. YinRising Morning Sessions Each day begins in stillness, but not in silence. YinRising is our initiating practice – held during the morning to attune you to the layers of body, mind, and spirit through slow movement, breath, and presence. Rooted in the yin principle of receptivity and non-doing, the practice isn’t about stretching or poses – it’s a recentering of self. Each session is uniquely attuned to the elements and to the rhythms and sounds of the natural environment. YinRising prepares your system for the day with subtle alignment, nervous system calm, and clarity of presence. An ideal way to tune in and start the day. Elemental Crystal Rites Throughout the retreat, we engage in immersive Elemental Crystal Rites – transformational energetic experiences that invite the intelligence of the crystal world into embodied form. Crystals are not merely beautiful, their internal lattice structures encode frequencies that interface with the subtle body, acting as both conduits and mirrors. For these experiences you'll be using your Crystal Field Kit: a curated crystal healing set attuned to the Sacred Elements journey. In these Crystal Rites, we work with specific stones whose elemental correspondences open portals of healing, resonance, and realignment. Each rite marks a ceremonial threshold – an invitation into a new layer of your being. These sessions are key passages in the curated elemental arc of the retreat, supporting deep pattern release and moments of profound stillness. Group Space Holding & Energy Circles These circles offer a direct way to receive the benefits of group field healing. The collective becomes an active healing field where each individual is deeply seen, held, and supported. Some participants may speak, share, or release; others may remain in silence. All are met with reverent presence, open-hearted reflection, and deep listening. These sessions bookend the retreat – one near the beginning, the other toward the close – marking thresholds of initiation and integration. Within these sacred containers, true transformation unfolds. Field Gateway: One-One Energy Session Each guest receives a personal one–one session; an energetic attunement and cleansing in the spirit of a modern limpia. This private space offers an opportunity to clarify your core intention, gently surface misalignments, and receive intuitive reflections tailored to your unique path. Soul Sensing & Astral Journeying These two evening activities explore the unseen realm of subtle energy, the aura and inner vision. Soul Sensing is an activity to connect you with your visionary abilities while Astral Journeying is a guided foray through the astral plane and the imagination. Perfectly curated for evening events. Experiences & Excursions Sacred Water Ritual at Pura Mengening A Purification Ceremony Tucked deep in the jungle, Mengening Temple is one of Bali’s most sacred sites—peaceful and powerfully aligned with the element of Water. Here, we’ll be guided through the traditional purification ritual of Melukat, beneath a series of sacred fountains, each offering a chance to release stagnant energy. This ceremony clears the energetic residue of daily life, restoring inner stillness and emotional flow. A blessing for the journey ahead, it invites a deep sense of renewal—body, heart, and spirit. Sacred Fire & Cacao Ceremony An Evening of Heart Opening & Ritual Release We will gather in circle to share locally grown ceremonial cacao, gently opening the heart and attuning to the group field. With softened edges and awakened intention, we step into a sacred fire ceremony guided by a Balinese priest. Known locally as a form of Agni Hotra, this ancestral fire ritual purifies, aligns, and amplifies intention. As flames rise, so do prayers—carried on the smoke, releasing what is complete and inviting what is ready to emerge. This is a powerful communal moment to honour your path, clarify purpose, and root yourself in the deeper current of the retreat. Sound Healing at Pyramids of Chi A Journey of Sacred Geometry & Vibration Step inside the majestic pyramids for a unique elemental sound expereince where architecture and ancient frequency work converge. In this optional experience at Pyramids of Chi, you’ll lie back and journey through sound with gongs, didgeridoo, and harmonic overtones—designed to entrain the nervous system and expand consciousness. This is sound healing held within sacred geometry and with high intention. Kecak Fire & Trance Dance Night of Embodied Myth & Ancestral Power Together we will witness the Kecak Fire Dance, an iconic Balinese ritual where over a hundred men chant in rhythmic unison, creatinga sonic field that pulses through the body and stirs the soul. This immersive performance retells sacred myths—not as stories, but as living energies. The evening deepens with the Sanghyang Jaran, or horse trance dance, where spirit channels through the dancer guided by ancient invocation. These are not staged performances but ritual acts of protection and purification. To witness this is to be drawn into the ceremonial heart of Bali, where trance and ancestral devotion are one.
